Prayer Mailing List: Hope and Love

[Johnson, Charlotte (Cjohnson]

Good Morning  Everyone,

I know we are all wondering when we can return to some normalcy in our life. I know we all get discouraged at times. I am not immuned to that feeling. However, I also know I am not alone. I can reach out to God in prayer and ask that he fill me with love and hope, and brighten my soul that I may be a “beacon of light” for others. We can reach out to one another and help each other through this crisis. It’s amazing what a phone call, an email, a card or letter will do to brighten someone’s day. Such a small gesture can mean a world of difference.

Our MHM (Methodist Healthcare Ministries’ Pastor (Pastor Mickey) shared this prayer with us this morning and I am sharing it with you. I hope your day is filled with sunshine, love and hope. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless each one of you.

Charlotte

Dear God,

In this time of uncertainty and fear, help us to have love, mercy, and peace for ourselves and for others as we face coronavirus in the Unites States and around the world.

Help us hold close in our hearts those who have died, and their loved ones who mourn them.
Those who are sick or are trying to seek medical care.
Those who don’t have paid sick leave, benefits, or job security.
Those whose schools have closed and don’t have access to food, safe homes, or technology.
Those can’t travel to be with loved ones who are ill or dying.
Those who are facing discrimination and harassment because of their ethnicity.
Those who are struggling with loneliness during this time of social isolation.
Those who are frightened and losing hope.

Help us find joy, however small it seems.
Help us remain hopeful.
Help us remember that “All shall be well, for there is a force of love moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.”

Amen
